The best varieties of Crimean wines

Ancient peoples began to use grapes for a long time to obtain a drink with unique taste characteristics. Often, the history of winemaking has a mythological quality.

It is easy to guess how the idea of ​​using grapes came to the minds of the inhabitants of the Crimean Peninsula. Juicy berry juice quickly begins to ferment and turns into an alcoholic drink.
Let's remember that in ancient times winemaking became a real art. The population's attachment to wine increased every day, and winemaking developed and opened up new opportunities for using the raw product.

Globally, Crimean winemakers have made a huge contribution. Excavations of archaeological sites indicate that the culture of wine production in Crimea dates back to the 7th-6th centuries. BC NS. This area has always been an arena for ethnic and military conflicts, and sometimes it was a disastrous factor for fertile plantations. Winemaking either ceased to exist, then revived with renewed vigor.
The invasions of warlike peoples led to the decline of the wine-making cultures of the Crimea. However, in XIII, the influence of the Genoese union significantly influenced the entire trade of the peninsula.

Genoese already by the XIV century. possessed all the lands of Crimea, including Sudak and Balaklava. Thanks to foreigners, the locals got one of the best periods in history for the development of agricultural activities. Trade not only promoted winemaking, but also stimulated the development of activities to improve production technologies in general.

Over time, the Sudak region becomes a wine-making center that successfully trades with all the surrounding areas, including Russia. A hundred years later, Crimea was conquered by the Turks, after which winemaking experienced hard times. Vineyards were destroyed and thousands of men and women were killed in wars. Art had to be restored again, as well as the culture of the entire nation.

In the 19th century, the wine business is revived again. The main character is Count Vorontsov, who begins to actively plant vineyards in his possessions in Crimea. Products made in its suburbs bore a special label "Aged in Vorontsov's cellars". Grappa made from grape cake was sold under the guise of vodka and was called "Vorontsovskaya starka".
By the middle of the century, up to 400 vineyards were located in the Crimea. The planted area was 3.5 thousand hectares.

By the 20th century, production increased, and at exhibitions in Italy, France and Belgium, samples of Crimean wines were full of images. At the same time, educational institutions were opened teaching the art of winemaking.
The success of school graduates directly depended on enthusiasm in their work, and now professionals in their field began to actively disseminate knowledge about winemaking throughout the lands of Crimea and Russia.

Today Crimean wines are delivered throughout Russia and neighboring countries.Drinks from the fertile lands of the wonderful peninsula are popular with true connoisseurs of winemaking, because they have outstanding characteristics that are highly appreciated both by sophisticated winemaking experts and ordinary people.

Classification of Crimean wines: canteens, strong, dessert, liqueur, flavored, sparkling

Table wines

Table wines are usually served daily.

They are characterized by the fact that they contain sugar in the following proportions:

0.3% dry;

1-2.5% semi-dry; 3-8% - semi-sweet. The amount of alcohol varies from 9 to 14% by volume. It depends on the sugar level in the grape juice.

By the way, wines are also subdivided into:

red (obtained by fermentation of juice and pulp, due to which the coloring matter remains in the wine); pink (during production, the aging time of fermentation is limited, and the wort is processed as for white wine); white (made from refined grape juice, which is why aromatic and tannins give the wine a rich bouquet).

Dessert wines

Produced from grapes with a high degree of sugar content. For this, the berries are harvested when ripe and overripe. At the same time, the sugar content should be at least 22-35%.
The fermentation process is stopped artificially when the sugar content in the liquid has reached the desired level.

The amount of sugar divides wines into:

Semi-sweet - 5-12% sugar and 14-16% alcohol; Sweet -14-20% sugar and 15-17% alcohol.

The dessert category includes Muscat, Tokai, Cahors and others.

Liqueur wines

Liqueur wines contain up to 35% sugars and 17% vol. alcohol. They are usually made from grape varieties with a high sugar content. These types of wines include Pinot noir, Rkatseteli, Cabernet Sauvignon, Saperavi, etc.

Strong wines

Strong wines have more than 20% vol. alcohol with a sugar content of 1 to 14%. Strong wines are very popular - port, Madeira, sherry. A distinctive feature in the production of strong wines is that the technology requires heating the wine material for a 3-year period on special solar sites or chambers.

Flavored wines

Flavored wines are obtained by mixing the base grape material and alcoholic extracts of herbal ingredients. Often, the bouquet of flavored wines includes sage, thyme, mint, cinnamon, wormwood and other natural flavors. Flavoring characteristics acquire an extensive floral, citrusy, resinous and nutmeg shades. The main properties of the product are acquired thanks to the essential oils that are part of a particular flavor. The taste of the wine is usually with a noticeable bitterness and spice. The color depends on the type of flavoring and can acquire both golden color and bright red.

Sparkling wine

The technology for the production of sparkling wines is such that the drink is saturated with carbon dioxide, due to which it becomes effervescent. The dioxide mimics the natural mechanisms of fermentation. Sparkling wine is made in a large tank that can withstand an internal pressure of 630 kilopascals, which is three times the pressure in a car's tire. Not to be confused with sparkling wine, in other words a carbonated drink made with artificially introduced carbon dioxide.

The main producers of Crimean wines:

This brand of Crimean wine is the most widespread. It is distinguished from other enterprises by a high level of quality and individuality. In terms of aroma, color and taste, the wines of the Koktebel plant have no equal. It was formed in 1944.

Table wines are drunk from small glasses, and sparkling wines from glasses of various shapes;

Wine should be drunk slowly, in small sips, imbued with the range of taste properties of the drink;

Steps of alcoholism: Test yourself for addiction

Rememberthat the pleasure of drinking wine is a special kind of pleasure. Imbued with history and the culture of winemaking in Crimea, you will be able to fully appreciate the work of generations, the results of preserving traditions under the conditions of improving the production of unique varieties of wine.

The harmful role of alcoholism in various acute and chronic diseases

Crimean wines are drinks with a very special smell and rich taste, prepared in accordance with certain traditions. They are famous all over the world. Millions of connoisseurs of quality wine know that really excellent drinks are made in Crimea.

Manufacturing plants

First of all, I would like to say that there are several factories producing wine drinks on the Crimean peninsula. Zolotaya Balka, Zolotaya Amphora, Inkerman, Novy Svet, Massandra, Koktebel and Sevastopol Sparkling Wine Factory. By the way, excellent cognac is also produced on the penultimate of the listed ones. The most famous is "Massandra", this factory has existed since 1894 and has been producing high quality wines for over 120 years. It is safe to say that his drinks are masterpieces of classic winemaking. Here not only the best Crimean wines are collected - there is a huge number of real works of winemaking art. The plant has 225 (!) Awards, which were received by its drinks at various tastings and exhibitions of an international format. And, in the end, “Massandra” is exactly the producer that has the largest collection of wines in the world. More than a million bottles of a wide variety of drinks are stored in its cellars. There is even a wine called "Jerez de la Frontera", the harvest of which dates back to 1775! Each drink produced by this plant is unique and special in its own way.

White Port: Variety of aromas and flavors

Crimean white wines deserve special attention. Take, for example, Cabernet port. Absolutely unique vintage white wine, for the production of which the grapes "Cabernet Sauvignon" were used. These berries grow near the small town of Alupka and the village of Simeiz. It is difficult to immediately understand the taste after tasting the Cabernet port. A complex bouquet reveals itself in the aftertaste, and only then can you feel a light almond flavor, set off by the aroma of subtropical fruits. Somewhat oily, but despite this, a mild taste that leaves a viscous and pleasant sensation. It is also worth noting the attention of "Yuzhnoberezhny" white port, which is rightfully considered the best representative of its class of drinks. It is made from Aligote or Semillon grapes. Its color can be very light or dark amber - it all depends on the variety of berries. Having tasted this drink, you can feel the unobtrusive aftertaste of a roasted nut. In addition, there is still a huge number of ports - “Golden Fortune Arhaderesse”, “Surozh”, “Crimean”, “Magarach” and many others.

Red table wines

They are especially popular.Take, for example, the Crimean red wine "Cabernet", which is made from the "sauvignon" grape grown near Sevastopol. This drink has a rich ruby ​​hue and a pronounced tart taste. Alushta wine is also in demand. It is prepared from various varieties, it is "Mourvedre", "Morastel", "Saperavi" or the notorious "Cabernet Sauvignon". By mixing all the listed berries, a varied and interesting taste is obtained. But, despite such a number of varieties, the drink does not have a sharp aroma - everything is very harmonious and unobtrusive.

"Festive" drink of the Crimean production

Champagne is an indispensable attribute at almost any holiday. On the peninsula, you can try absolutely any drink belonging to this class. Crimean sparkling wines are also diverse. Champagne with the interesting name “Prince Lev Golitsyn”, which is aged for at least three years, can rightfully be considered a real elite alcohol. It is made using classical technologies, that is, by secondary fermentation. The drink has a refreshing and harmonious taste and contains about 12.5% ​​alcohol. Also popular is "Sevastopol" champagne. Based on the name, you can understand where it is made. This is a noble drink of excellent quality, distinguished by a not too cloying taste and a light grape aroma. Champagne "New World" is also in demand. This wine drink has a rich aroma of fresh grapes and a completely unique taste. Its originality is due to the fact that no sugar or anything else is added to the drink. Absolutely pure taste.

Dessert drinks

Crimean wines, related to dessert, are distinguished by increased strength and richer taste. They are also called "Muscat". White "Livadia" is one of the most unique Crimean dessert wines. A delicate amber drink with a buttery warm taste. This wine is very popular among true connoisseurs of alcohol. Also worth noting is the wine with the long name “Red Stone White Muscat”. It can rightfully be considered the pride of domestic winemaking. It is this nutmeg that has been awarded the highest world-class awards that can only be given to wine. Its light golden color with amber tint cannot be confused with anything, and the nutmeg taste with light citrus notes makes you fall in love with this drink from the first sip.

Author's wines of Crimean masters

Many winemakers make their own signature drinks. They should also be honored. Take, for example, “Crimean Night” (Crimean wine, semi-sweet red). The main master who works at the Plodovoye plant (which produces this drink) and is engaged in the creation of author's wines is Valery Andreevich Tsurkan. "Crimean Night" is distinguished by a very original taste, because it is made from valuable grape varieties - "Chardonnay", "Pinot", "Aligote" and many others. Thanks to the efforts of its founders, this small factory has received three silver and four gold medals at international competitions for cognacs and wines.

"Courageous" wine

This name was given by the common people to sherry. The drink itself was born in Spain. As a matter of fact, for the first time outside this country, sherry began to be made on the peninsula. This wine has certain differences from the rest. One of the most pronounced is that this drink is kept in containers that are not completely filled, and under a thin layer of special wine yeast. It is this component that infuses sherry with such a special taste. Periodically, a small part of the content is replaced with young wine. After that, dessert wine is added to the wort, and then it is allowed to wander for a while in the cold cellars. Sherry is infused for four years, at the end of this period an aperitif with a pronounced taste and aroma is obtained.This is a strong wine (it can contain about 20% alcohol), it warms, in moderate doses it improves blood pressure and awakens the appetite. It is usually served with meat, vegetable, mushroom and fish dishes.

"Black Colonel"

Speaking about Crimean wines, I would like to highlight this drink with special attention. It is made exclusively in the Sun Valley, because it is only there that a unique grape variety is grown - "ekim kara" and "jevat kara". This brand was approved not so long ago - only in 1995, but it has already won the recognition of connoisseurs of wine drinks and won nine gold medals at various international competitions. “Black Colonel” has a unique bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect on various pathogenic microorganisms, improves the immune system and has a beneficial effect on digestion. This unique vintage wine is often used as an aperitif and is served with fatty dishes such as barbecue, grilled meat, pilaf and barbecue. "Black Colonel" - this is exactly the wine, treating which you can show a high tone.

Original drinks

Crimean wines in themselves are unique and original in their own way, however, there is such a classification, and certain drinks belong to it. For example, bastardo "Massandra". The wine is made from Magarach grapes, due to which it acquires an original dark red color. After tasting this rather sweet drink, you can feel the aftertaste of dark chocolate, shaded by prunes. The strength of the wine is 16%, it is often even compared to liqueur. The original drinks also include aleatico called “Ayu-Dag”. Differs in a very delicate delicate taste and the same color - light pink, with a pomegranate tint. You can also note the attention of the dessert kokur "Surozh". It has a pronounced golden hue and an original varietal bouquet, in which you can feel the taste of honey and quince. And, finally, “The Seventh Heaven of Golitsyn” is a wine that fully justifies its name. It has been cooked in Massandra for over 135 years. This drink combines the flavors of peach, honey and quince fruits and has a dark amber color.

Reviews of alcohol connoisseurs

Much has been said about such unique drinks as Crimean wines. Reviews of people who have tried any of the above at least once, only once again confirm their undoubted quality. The number of drinks is almost endless, and every person who loves good alcohol will find exactly what he needs. Still, fortified, sweet, semi-sweet, dry, champagne, author's and vintage - all these are Crimean wines. Reviews of numerous tasters and alcoholic critics in no way embellish the merits of these drinks. No wonder, for example, “Massandra Madeira” is included in the top hundred wines in the whole world, and champagne “New World” was awarded a gold medal and Grand Prix at the Moscow International Competition of Wines and Spirits.

Price

Crimean wines, the names of which were listed above, cost differently. Some of them (for example, Alushta red port) are quite inexpensive - just over a hundred rubles per bottle. But the price of the "Black Doctor" is about 1,300 rubles. How is the price of Crimean wines determined? The price depends on the year of release, grape variety and other nuances, which were described above. In general, a bottle of good Crimean wine can be purchased for about three hundred rubles. Many people, especially newcomers, find it difficult to make a choice. Therefore, many decide to visit the plant as part of an excursion, and this, I must say, is the right decision - there connoisseurs will tell interesting information regarding wines, besides, then there will be an opportunity to go through a tasting, where each person individually decides for himself which drink suits him.

Crimean wines are drinks for sophisticated connoisseurs with developed taste.Due to the observance of long established traditions, these wines have been delighting consumers with their unique bouquet and excellent aroma for decades. Many wine lovers give their preference to exactly those specimens that were made in Crimea.

Crimean wines

Thanks for such high-quality and popular products should be those masters who are engaged in the production of vintage wines at numerous factories located on the Crimean peninsula. The most famous of them:

• Inkerman;
• Gold amphora;
• New World;
• Massandra;
• Golden beam;
• Koktebel;
• Sevastopol Sparkling Wine Factory.

An interesting fact - the Koktebel plant, in addition to producing wines, also produces cognac of amazing quality.

White wines of Crimea

White wines from Crimea deserve special attention among the variety of varieties. One has only to remember the same port "Cabernet" - a vintage white wine made using the special grape "Cabernet Sauvignon", which grows near the town of Alupka.

The taste will not be immediately clear to a common man in the street - the wine begins to play with shades of aromas with might and main and fully disclose the gamut when the aftertaste comes - only then you can feel how everything inside seems to be filled with a barely noticeable aroma of almonds and various tropical fruits. In general, the drink tasted rather soft, and at the same time slightly viscous.

"South Coast" white port

If the story is about the white wines of Crimea, one cannot fail to mention the "Yuzhnoberezhny" white port. Still - the drink is rightfully recognized as the best in its class. The grape variety, which is used for the production of "South Coast" port, is not familiar to everyone and bears the exquisite name "Aligote", or its alternative - "Semillon" can be used. The color of the wine depends on which variety will be chosen for making wine. The drink has several color options, from bright white to dark with a hint of amber. This wine has a very unusual taste, vaguely reminiscent of roasted peanuts.

And here are some more popular families of white wines that can be definitely recommended to any connoisseur:

• Magarach;
• Surozh;
• Golden fortune of arhaderesse;
• Crimean port.

Crimean red wines

Cabernet

This wine category has its own crowd of admirers. Their special attention is drawn to "Cabernet" - one of the best natives of the Crimean red wines. Its taste matches the color - bright, catchy and memorable, and all thanks to the already mentioned grape "Sauvignon", which here also acts as the main ingredient.

Do not forget about Alushta wine - this specimen is able to give no less taste pleasure. To obtain its unique aroma, the manufacturer had to mix the taste properties of the finest grape varieties: Morastel, Sapevari, Mourvèdre and several other representatives, including even Cabernet Sauvignon.

Alushta wine is that rare case when the amount of used ingredients really grew into quality: the aroma of the drink is very light, you literally dissolve in it, distracting yourself from the hustle and bustle.

Unique Crimean wines

Connoisseurs probably know that wine masters give their main masterpieces their own unique name - such drinks can be safely called the best creations of their authors. Of course, it is impossible not to mention them.

Crimean night

Here, for example, is a wine called "Crimean Night", produced under the authorship of Tsurkan Valery Andreevich - the chief foreman of the plant for the production of wines "Plodovoe". Although the plant itself cannot boast of its huge size and numerous branches in various regions, not least thanks to the "Crimean Night", it was awarded four gold and three silver awards at various competitions around the world. And all thanks to those grape varieties that are used to give an exquisite taste to the drink: "Pinot", "Aligote", "Chardonnay" and others.

Sherry

Sherry, or the so-called “courageous” wine among the people, should be especially highlighted. It is special if only because the method of its production is different from others: the wine is infused in special barrels, but they are not completely filled, and a layer of wine yeast is applied on top. So it is infused for four years, from time to time young and dessert wine is added to each mixing vessel. The drink turns out to be very strong, its consistency can reach up to 20% alcohol content, but this is the beauty of sherry. "Courageous" wine is advised to wash down with hot dishes and snacks.

As for the price - it will depend on the specific variety. The range is from the most democratic to the most expensive wines in the world. However, the price will not seem so transcendental even to an inexperienced person, because it will pay off with the extraordinary aroma and charm of Crimean wines.

Cabernet-Sauvignon )

A well-known French variety, the plantings of which are cultivated throughout the middle and southern zones of viticulture of the CIS countries. A variety of medium late ripening period. Cabernet Sauvignon has a great ecological and geographic plasticity: it produces high quality wines almost everywhere, and not only in the table, but also in the dessert direction. The wort yield of Cabernet Sauvignon is relatively high. The juice of the berry is not colored, therefore, with rapid pressing, especially using the champagne method (with whole bunches), almost uncolored champagne wine materials are obtained with a slight pink hue, which decreases with aging. Their quality is so high that they can be the basis for the creation of fine vintage table wine. The best wines from Cabernet-type Bordeaux are produced in Medoc, Grave and Saint-Emilion (France). They are distinguished by nobility, subtlety and tenderness of taste, exceptional beauty of the bouquet. Cabernet Sauvignon produces a well-built and firm wine. With its subtlety, it is quite complete, although not excessively, has a persistent and rather intense color. The bouquet and taste of the wine has a specific feature - the smell of nightshade or morocco (leather). This bouquet is felt more strongly in young wine. When the wine matures, the specific bouquet of the variety changes somewhat and becomes ennobled. In the creation of a mature Cabernet bouquet, substances extracted from the grape skins play an important role, since the white wine from Cabernet has a completely different bouquet. Cabernet wine matures rather slowly and is somewhat rough at a young age. It reaches its maximum development of organoleptic properties in 8-10 years. Red table vintage wine Cabernet Abrau is prepared from Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes at the Abrau-Durso farm. At a young age, it has a dark red color with a purple tint, which, as it matures, turns into a pomegranate, with onion tones. On the palate, it has a slight astringency, harmonious acidity. The aroma in the young wine is nightshade, then turns into a delicate bouquet with the scent of morocco. In some years, this wine gets exceptionally high qualities, acquiring a harmonious taste and a delicate bouquet with a violet scent during aging. In the Krasnodar Territory, red table vintage wine Cabernet Myskhako is also produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Wine of intense color, characteristic dark ruby ​​color with a sparkle, full, velvety, soft, with a pleasant harmonious acidity. Red dessert vintage wine Black Eyes is produced from Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes grown in Gelendzhik district of Krasnodar Territory. The wine has an intense dark red color; it is quite extractive, velvety, with light chocolate tones on the palate.
